Yup... I've been hypo for 12 years now... in the last 18 months I have slowly lost 45lbs. I have taken myself off my meds because all of my doctors are butt faces, they dont go by how I feel... only the numbers so I might as well eat really healthy and move along :) The meds didn't actually make me feel well unless I was…

I had my belly button pierced waaaay back when I was 19 (my oldest daughter was a year old) Before it was "cool". Now my 19 yr old daughter has hers pierced (as do all of her friends)... I have kept it through four pregnancies and it's been part of me for quite a while. Never have I taken it out for any period of time. I…

I have talked to a few people who have told me they run exclusively on the treadmill... I think they are "real" runners, I just feel bad for them a little bit because the fresh air and scenery is NOTHING like running indoors on a machine. They said.... your poor thing, your knees will hate you... I thought... you poor…

I take all that the OP takes, minus the biotin.. I also take Iron and Vit C. I wasn't TOLD that I should, but I always felt better when I took a multi. Then I was advised by my endo that I should be taking Calcium because women with thyroid disease (hypo) tend to have a hard time absorbing calcium so I figured, a little…

My heaviest 203 lbs, current is 163, goal is 135.

I am here daily also.. I am a busy momma to many but I enjoy getting on there to see how all my friends are doing! This is a journey... nobody wants to do it alone!

I dont know how to add pics on here, but my "so far" picture is my profile right now. I started at 203 and in this pic I was down 37lbs. I am currently down 41lbs but haven't felt like it was time for a new pic yet :) Love seeing everybody's pics :)

YES! I am currently beginning Week 8 and am hypothyroid. I have lost about quite a good bit of weight doing so. I started very slow and repeated days and the more I did it, the more energy I got. It is totally possible, even though you have thyroid disease!

I have been doing c25K and am about to start week 6. You should absolutely rest a day in between runs... if you feel like you want to do something on the "off" days... do abs or arms or pushups or something else... or if you absolutely MUST get out there... just walk :)

The ONLY food item I wont change is my coffee... It's the ONE thing I need to enjoy! With so many things in this life that are unenjoyable... LOL ... my coffee is one that I just calculate my day around. I will say that I have gone from drinking 5ish cups a day to 2 or 3..., but that is mostly because I dont have the…

Feel free to add me... I am looking for friends who will help keep me moving in the right direction. I have lost 28, I have 15 till my first goal, ultimate goal is another 25 after that.

I really enjoyed this thread! Thanks for posting.
